Fox Newsdespite abuse allegations, demanding accountability
Supported reports confirm Brett Kavanaugh faced uncorroborated allegations from eight years earlier, while Graham Platner faces multiple allegations. Unverified claims from Fox News assert that top Democrats are backing Platner and previously demanded accountability for Kavanaugh. Analyses from multiple perspectives examine consistency in evidentiary standards across cases.
